10/14/24 On October 10, 2024, Wismettac Asian Foods, Inc. announced a recall of their 3.52 oz packages of Shirakiku brand Korean Seasoned Seaweed.

The product was distributed in several states through retail stores and restaurants. No illnesses related to this issue have been reported. The incorrect allergen declaration on the outer package was due to the unintentional use of wrong packaging material, which poses a risk for those with food allergy.
